Sorry folks, but I just haven't had time to deal with this site recently. Never fear, when Masters of the Force hits the street, I'll get the material up as soon as I can. Here're links to some preview articles though:

Robot Viking: Molator, Plo Koon, Jedi Master, Rebel Soldier, Battle Droid Officer

Robot Viking: Yoda, Force Spirit

Star Wars . com: Molator, Mantellian Savrip

Wired: Lando Calrissian, Rebel Leader, Freedon Nadd, Ng'ok

After much speculation by the fan base, Wizards of the Coast  made an announcement today that they would be discontinuing their Star Wars  Miniatures and Star Wars  Roleplaying Game lines when their license ends in May. This means we have only one more set of miniatures coming our way, Masters of the Force in April.

See the announcement here.

TheForce.net  has two previews for The Dark Times. The sole piece for the Old Republic, the (1) Jedi Watchman, and a classic bounty hunter, (39) Zuckuss, Bounty Hunter. I'm glad we got another look at Zuckuss, since I found a cost error in my spoiler - fixed now.

Star Wars . com has a couple more previews for The Dark Times. We saw the Gungan bounty hunter a while back, and while we've known his stats for a while, this is the first official look at (4) A'Sharad Hett, the man who would become Darth Krayt.

The DCI  has updated the floor rules for Star Wars  Miniatures (they go into effect on the 26th of this month). There are some significant changes:

 – Point structure and map lists have changed; now there are Open, Standard, and Restricted map lists

 – General Obi-Wan Kenobi has ben UNbanned.

 – and more (make sure to read Appendix A).

Mandalorien over at Khryssun has 3 stat card confirmations for The Dark Times for us today. Those three are (11) Dass Jennir, (18) Imperial Engineer, and (38) T'surr.

I got my set poster for The Dark Times today. I've scanned pics of the minis for which we had no official pic (e.g., most of them).

A rarity in our little world – The Holocron has posted an interview with Peter Lee, the lead designer for the Star Wars  Miniatures line.  The Dark Times, coming out next week, is the first set he's had a major hand in, so check out some of his thoughts right here.

The Holocron brings us round two of their previews for The Dark Times. They are (7) K'Kruhk, Jedi Master, (16) Emperor's Hand, (32) Rodian Raider, and (33) Talz Chieftain.

The Holocron brings us a batch of The Dark Times previews. They are (1) Jedi Watchman, (21) Kir Kanos, (27) 4-LOM, Droid Mercenary, and (31) Rodian Brute.
